UPDATED: Bush Commutes Libby's Sentence
As it should be. Just coming across on Fox News. Conviction to stay in place and the fine as well. John Gibson has Rich Lowry on, who calls it a "gutsy move."
I haven't been exactly wild about the President's stance on the "all or nothing" Immigration Bill, I feel he has been way to conciliatory towards the Democrats in general, and Condi Rice has gone over to the Dark Side; with that said, when the President gets something right, he deserves recognition. Obviously he will take some flak from the Left for this. But everyone knows this was a "show trial" and that Libby should never have even gotten to the point where his testimony was needed--after all the egomanical Fitzgerald already knew who the leaker was before Libby ever was interviewed by the Grand Jury. This was a pure fishing expedidtion, by a prosecutor who could not bear for all that time and money to have been viewed the total waste that it was.
Stay tuned. Official announcement supposedly to come soon.
Well done, Mr. President.
UPDATE: The al-Associated Press has the story now.
UPDATE: Fred Thompson is quick to support the move. And Kathryn Jean Lopez feels a bit better about the Prez, too.
